Ambassador abn Posted January 28, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted January 28, 2008 I haven't posted pictures in a while, so I figured I'd share a few of the projects that have occupied my time in January. Given the beautiful work that's been posted recently in the Show Off forum, I hope no one minds checking out a few "utilitarian" pieces! ^_^ Thanks for looking, -Alex Quote
Contributing Member rdb Posted January 28, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted January 28, 2008 They all look good to me abn! I like the fob color. The Tri-corner looks neat, and the wallet looks just like it's supposed too. Quote Web page Facebook

faceOdd Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 Alex, Is your wallet hand sewn? If so, what thickness of leather did you use? Someone was just asking me about making them a wallet yesterday, but everything I currently have is too thick for a sleek, lovely wallet like yours. Very nice!

Ambassador freak Posted January 28, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted January 28, 2008 I always enjoy viewing the slick designs of abn . Very nice, creative designs and extremely clean . On the w.b. with the tri weave , what did you use on the outer edge? I can't make out the design. Quote It takes more then one freak to have a true freakshow. So take a seat , the show is about to start. Check out the freakSHOW
Ambassador abn Posted January 28, 2008 Author Ambassador Report Posted January 28, 2008 Wow, thanks for all the nice comments. Is your wallet hand sewn? If so, what thickness of leather did you use? Tammy, it's hand-sewn with a 4-5 oz. exterior and a 2-3 oz. interior. The 4-5 oz. is overkill for the exterior, but adds to the durability of the wallet and provides a nice surface for tooling or carving. On the w.b. with the tri weave , what did you use on the outer edge? I can't make out the design. Freak, it's the very tip of an O56 border stamp. Quote
Members ericluther Posted January 28, 2008 Members Report Posted January 28, 2008 Amazing work! those cuffs rock, do you mind me asking what weight leather you used for them and what types of snaps? I need to order snaps for my first cuff and Im not sure what to use for what weight. Quote http://lutherdesigns.com/ http://www.facebook.com/LutherLeather

I need to order snaps for my first cuff and Im not sure what to use for what weight. Thanks, Eric. I used 4-5 oz. leather, which makes for a lightweight and thin wristband, and some regular old Line 20 snaps. Line 20 should be good up to about 7 oz. leather, and beyond that you should be looking at Line 24s. Alex Quote
SCOUTER Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Alex, WOW! Everything is awesome but those wristbands are AMAZING! :jump: Thanks for sharing! WOW! Quote
